Detroit Red Wings Fans Are The Best

Win or lose, here are some examples of fans that just cannot be beaten. Unless you count getting kicked out for smuggling in an octopus as getting beat. Then maybe.

They start young. And play favorites.

They start young. And show no mercy.

Everybody's a fan. Seriously.

Even fictional famous people.

And NFL players, too.

But the best part is their fierce loyalty.

They say what needs to be said.

...and sometimes with fervent emotion.

All of Detroit sports the spirit for playoffs

Even the Tiger.

They make sacrifices for the Wings

...sometimes more serious sacrifices

But what would we do without the occasional octopus?

Photoshop and meme, of course.

Anyway, shout-out to all Red Wings fans out there, and reminisce on some of this series' great moments before allowing the sorrow of the loss to kick in. Thanks, Wings!
